That was his real work. He's a social network for the davos crowd.

> The amount of breathless conclusion jumping from citizen journalists has been completely bananas as well.

I saw a video on Instagram claiming (or at least insinuating) that Epstein had access to all of Lifetouch's photos, because "the company is in the Epstein files!". Turns out, it was a single line item for $109 in what looked like banking records. In comparison, that same selection of files mentioned Whole Foods ~250 times.

For those outside the US, Lifetouch does school photos for about half the schools in the US (or something like that) so you can understand how that's a thread that conspiracy theorists can pull on. But there's nothing there. Just a single payment to the company in a sea of thousands and thousands of normal, every day purchases.

> (example: cannibalism) which people are now taking as the truth

I haven’t seen any indication of “people that didn’t previously believe in cannibal elites now believe in cannibal elites after reading the emails” being a phenomenon that actually exists.

I’ve yet to interact with anyone that has seriously said “I didn’t believe they ate babies on Tuesday but it is Thursday and now I believe they were eating babies.” but people are posting like that’s a thing that happens frequently now. It’s almost like the tinfoil hat theory I’ve seen the most isn’t “pedophile cannibals” but rather “reading the emails will make you go crazy and start believing in cannibal pedophiles” like they are an actual real-life Lovecraftian hazard, which is a much more outlandish idea than… kooks and hucksters continuing to be kooks and hucksters.

This, and also a lot of antisemitism seems to have been enabled.

and a lot of actual censorship

jimmy kimmel didn't self censor himself off the air

For example the Israel connection, for obvious reasons but you get censored/flagged here too if you mention that part ofc

Massive piles of documents, released erratically and possessing apparently random and sloppy redactions with inconsistent formatting rules are a common tactic in some corporate cases as well, since they intend to wear down opposing counsel through exploitation of reptile theory.

AFAICT it's not well considered by DoJ that this works roughly in proportion to the technical aptitude of opposing counsel. The public has excellent technical aptitude when motivated and none otherwise and this is clearly a situation of motivation.

All that stuff about rule of law and exceptionalism was just freedom theater.

The degree to which this is true is I think still underestimated, and comments like these need more upvotes.

You don’t need to appeal to shadowy cabals to explain why media professionals have been desperate for this stuff to not be true (and why, every day these days, you can still read examples of them absolutely writhing as they are obliged by public outrage to continue to report on it).

All you really need is to remember that a) they have mortgages to pay, too, so why rock the boat, and b) the people who end up writing for the WSJ and the people who end up in Jeffrey’s rolodex are by and large the same class of people. They went to the same colleges, they consume similar culture and media, they play the same games of keep up with the joneses, they read the Economist on their days off and fret over Gen Z slang and wonder whether the Chase card or the Amex will get them enough airline miles to fly to London for free with their spouse etc etc. They recognize themselves in the “Epstein class” — not in their crimes, but in their manners. So why would they be party to showing the world that class is so profoundly rotten? It’d give the lie to their whole lifestyle.

(And yes, to anticipate a critique here, of course there’s a difference between a producer at NBC and a billionaire! Not denying that. But they are cut from the exact same cultural and social cloth. The best proof of this is in the Epstein files themselves: not in the creepy or criminal bits, but in the mundane stuff. How he talks, what’s on his mind, the advice he gives, etc. It’s all American upper middle class humdrum stuff.)

And which will frequently be completely wrong, but they will believe it absolutely because it fits with their political biases.

… as well as the shooter’s posting history and maybe a link to the livestream?

Respectfully, you also said that "we now know" that taking the COVID19 vaccine could have killed you earlier today, which is completely false. I don't think you are getting your news from reliable sources, and I see this comment as further evidence of that. I'm sure there's lots of information on 4chan about the identity of mass shooters, and that some of it is accurate, but most of it is probably wild speculation, outright trolling, and mistaken identity. Like when Reddit pinned the Boston Marathon bombings on a series of innocent people who were standing on a rooftop or missing because they had killed themselves.

Then again, you also openly expressed an antisemitic conspiracy theory (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46959252) along with a lot of racist Great Replacement stuff (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46922014), so maybe unreliable news sources are the least of it. Seems like you're probably a literal White Nationalist.

The outlier where name recognition on the ballot is not an advantage?

> I honestly dont understand what people are expecting here.

An investigation...?

> How do you get from that to an arrest or conviction?

You do an investigation

> Do you know it hasn't already been followed up on?

Yes because that would be a part of these files. It’s not disputed that at minimum any leads, including victim testimonies, were not followed up.

Actually, no she didn't, but a lot of people are saying she did.

She is more worried about her own exposure. She can picture the ship sinking but doesn't want to drown with the other rats she helped protect.

If that's the case, the system deserves to.

> the whole system

If there were democrats on that list, they’d already be in jail.

> Pam Bondi said if the DOJ went after everyone the whole system would collapse is why.

This is a criminally colluding Pam Bondi saying this. I guarantee that every single person on the Epstein list is replaceable many times over. There is not a single person on that list that is indispensable in any role they play in society. Full stop. Don't fall for it.

It's just the way the system is built. Even Pam Bondi is replaceable (and should be replaced) by many, many actual qualified people.

Save the Borgias !

So she admitted that the whole system is corrupt?

Pam Bondi is trying to play the clock until the hot potato falls in someone else's hands.

Go look at the photos and tell me that everyone is overreacting. If anything people are under reacting.

After the 3-4th blacked out little girl showing her genitals so they can be sold, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that if someone is connected to the island they need to be thoroughly investigated. That’s not a stretch.

Replies like yours are what’s sick downplaying the most prolific industrial child rape in modern America and only one person is sitting in prison. And none of the customers.

Kept his distance? His name appears in the files, and this is not an exaggeration, over one million times.

Trump is mentioned about a million times, according to the (less redacted) docs searched by a congressman.

Much of that is probably the news articles and gossip Epstein was known to circulate as the walls were closing in. Still, their friendship goes back decades and they were neighbors both in NYC and Florida.
